The Moon & I

The Moon & I : The Moon that inspires Betsy Byar's memoir isn't the one in the sky, but a huge, harmless blacksnake she finds in the rafters of her porch. This meeting begins an exploration of the writing process. With energy, wit, and delight, the Newbery medalist shows how "the good scraps" of her life, from a bully names Bubba to a gift-wrapped dime, weave into her work. Ages 11 and up.
